Weaknesses: None ! If you like hardtail bicycles
Need to execute a great design to get the best of it - not easy due to the 100% custom policy pushed by IF. A portural study won't warranty you to get the best bike on the trail either and very few bikeshop are able to make the balance between theory and the real word - not even if you visit the best known name in the branch, designing a great bike is not a matter of fame or price.

Bottom Line:

A great bicycle handles the trails precisely, fell muscular, efficient.
Greatly executed - not all Ti bicycles are equals - you get for what you ultimately pay, if you take care of it you will keep it for life.

Weaknesses: I really had to stretch to think of a weakness, this is all I came up with. Seatpost tube is 29.4. Not a super common size. However, I use a shim with a 27.2 post and I am finding that the post slips about an inch over the course of a short ride, even when I clamp down super tight. I ordered another shim (27.2 to 29.6) hopfully this one will keep the post in place a bit better.

Bottom Line:

The ride is amazing. It feels perfectly efficient. It rolls so smooth, excels super quick and climbs like a scared billy goat. There are many capable custom frame builders that can build you the perfect custom hardtail. When I was ready to build mine I rushed to Indy Fab, they seem to have a special ethos and tradition that just blows my man-skirt up. They did an incredible job, and they did it relatively fast. I could not be more pleased. The frame is compliant, light, quick and handsome. I don't think I will ever part with this frame.
